Treating pompholyx (dyshidrotic eczema) requires a comprehensive approach to achieve optimal results. It is essential to keep the skin clean and dry, avoid prolonged exposure to moist environments, minimize sweating, and wear breathable clothing and socks. Topical treatments may include anti-inflammatory and antiallergic ointments, such as corticosteroid creams or calcineurin inhibitors, to alleviate skin inflammation and itching. For patients with severe symptoms, systemic treatment with oral antihistamines or glucocorticoids may be necessary. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as acupuncture and cupping may provide supportive benefits. Maintaining a positive mindset, avoiding stress and anxiety, engaging in regular physical exercise, and enhancing immune function are also important during treatment. Furthermore, contact with irritating substances should be avoided to prevent worsening of the condition. By combining these approaches, pompholyx can be effectively managed.
